Katie's April Finish

Found this guy in the Just Cross Stitch 2012 Halloween Issue

I just love his fun face. I left off the word Spooky under him.

I stitched him on perforated paper. 

Love everyone's ornaments. See ya next month!

My February Ornament

For February, I chose "Witch's Pantry" from Plum Pudding Needleart - from the JCS Halloween issue 2012...

Happy Stitching!!!

January Finish - Pumpkin

Yesterday I finished - just in time - my pumpkin for January:

It is from a Just Cross Stitch magazine, don't know exactly which one, the very number of the magazine I will add later... :o)

I changed the "2012" of the chart to "2013"...

Here comes the name and designer of the pumpkin: "White Jack-O-Lantern" by Casey Bionaugurio. From the JCS Annual Halloween issue 2012 (September/October 2012).

I already found a pattern for February - Black Cats... :o)

Best wishes, Cathi

Katie's January Finish

Yesterday after finishing my Christmas ornament for this month I started and finished my Halloween ornament too. I love this little guy. He's done on perforated paper with DMC and beads. He's from the Just Cross Stitch 2012 Halloween issue. I left off the arms and legs cause I was worried about them being so breakable. I'm all caught up now on my SALs for this month.

My January Ornie

Hi Everyone, 

How much fun is this SAL going to be?  Thanks, Elaine for organising it and also the Christmas SAL which I am also participating in. I am going great guns on Halloween so far now!

My name is Kaye (or Kaisievic on the net sometimes) and my blog is Kitten Stitching, please come by and visit with me a while when you get the chance.  I am a fifty something educational book publisher (mainly of History books) and I live in the gorgeous leafy suburb of Eaglemont in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia with TraderVic (DH), my two youngest Dchildren and my DFIL.  I have been on blogger about 18 months now and have found that I have become quite addicted to it although I try hard not to let it get in the way of my other addictions passions, which are, of course, cross stitch, reading, travel, my family..... You get the picture.

I chose this cute design from Glory Bee featuring a pumpkin from the 2012 JCS Halloween mag.  

... and here is my progress so far:

I am using my own fabric - 32 ct overdyed Cocoa linen and I am substituting the Gentle Arts Sampler Threads with mainly Weeks Dye Works as they are the colours which I have!  I am pleased with my progress so far - this is what I managed to stitch in just one day and that was with an awful lot going on in the home yesterday (tradesmen on my doorstep at 7 am to install a new air conditioner - thank goodness as it was 41 (106 F) degrees yesterday! then the new dishwasher had to be installed and on it went!)

hugs,
